I think that when the 10,000 people were still ordinary young people, and the high commander was still a literary youth...

In fact, I’m not really good at determining what type of youth was the ten thousand people back then... It’s long past the literary youth period, but it hasn’t reached the stage of the second youth. It hasn't been opened, at least at that time, the face was not long (quoting a sentence on Weibo) like a stomach, and the whole person still exudes the atmosphere of a melancholy artistic youth. . . At first I thought it would be a commander of 10,000 attacks. After all, the older one is more than nine years old. When the two dressed up, they are successful professionals and art college students. How do you look at the weak appearance of Commander High is 10,000 attacks. Object. . . But it was wrong. . . Ten thousand are typical of this kind of advancing, attacking and retreating. This kind of person can be recommended. How can people who occasionally burst out of soft sister attributes be able to attack to the end. Therefore, in the middle of the movie, Commander Gao immediately counterattacked......... …
Okay, the above is a bit off topic... No, quite off topic...
The art of this movie is really beyond expectation. It's too literary...Look clearly, it's literary, not suspense, not thriller, but literary. Many lenses shoot, the texture and light are very literary things, not like American movies, like French feelings, the composition of the picture, the grasp of the color tone, the contrast of light and dark... …Every still shot of this film is like a painting or a carefully composed photo. The visual impact is very strong, but you don’t know what it means... If they are connected together, sometimes they will feel a little dizzy. ...But perhaps what the director wants to emphasize is this dizziness, the fuzzy feeling between reality and fantasy.
Although many people say that this is a dream, I have always felt that this may be a parallel world relationship~~~
A dying person connects all the things he sees with his own experience. The real and imaginary world merges into a dream that is also true and illusion... I thought so at first, especially when I saw SAM rescue Henry from behind, and then I recalled some parts in the middle, repeated constantly, together with a weird phenomenon, indeed It's like a dream, or indeed it's a dream.
But seeing some flashback clips after Henry was sent to an ambulance, and then Sam invited Layla to drink coffee, I think, maybe, this is not a dream, maybe this is a parallel world relationship? ? ?
Someone also explained why SAM’s trousers were always pulled up. That’s because when he saved Henry, from Henry’s point of view, Sam showed an ankle... This is undoubtedly a very reasonable one. Very credible and there is no explanation that can be refuted. Except for the second, I don’t think there is anything else I can say about why Sam’s trousers are always pulled up so that a piece of white ankle is exposed, and the film also emphasizes this point.
However, if this is really a dream, I can’t understand, the last flashback clips of Sam and Laila... Those will never be in Henry’s mind, they should be in Sam’s mind, maybe he doesn’t. Seeing exactly what it was, it just made him feel that he and Layla were familiar with each other, and he shouldn't let her go, just like Athena who appeared in the first half said that she didn't know Henry but had a feeling of deja vu.
Therefore, I always feel that this should be a story of a parallel world. Because Henry in one world had a car accident, and a car accident at Brooklyn Bridge, henry in the other world was about to commit suicide at Brooklyn Bridge. So maybe there was some distortion in time and space, and something was established between two parallel worlds. This kind of connection, and because of the instability of this connection, there will be distortions of time and space, and the cessation of time, so many incredible things have happened. Why does she not know him in this world, and she is his fiancée in another world, why does he meet two identical scenes, that is because he appears in two worlds, the weird illusion on the Brooklyn Bridge An illusory light...
But if you talk about the parallel world, there are many things that cannot be explained... For example, Henry's mother, it is weird and terrible. And after his father could see, at the station, the lights went out with the footsteps. This was clearly telling the passing of life, step by step towards death.
Sure enough, it still needs to be watched several times to figure out what kind of story the director and screenwriter want to tell, an illusory dream? Or two intertwined worlds?
